A BALLAD OF SMILES.

A turns the bee to blushing flowers,
As the vane turns toward the breese,
As toilers in the noontide hours
Turn to the shading trees,
A turns the needle to the pole,
As turns young love to May,
As waves that up the shadows roll,
Turn back toward oceans spray
So. even so, my heart, care free,
Veers ever round, my home, to thee.
As, after cloud, we seek the light;
As, after frost, the sun;
As, after struggles fevered might,
We seek the prize well won;
As, after drought, we wish for rain,
AS. after toll, for play;
As. after tossing on the main,
We yearn to reach the bay
So, after worldly strife. I flee
To find sweet rest, my home, in thee.
As longs the pilot for the land,
As longs the sick for health,
As longs the youth for pathways grand
And endless stores of wealth,
As longs the eagle for his peak,
As longs the serf for gold,
AS longs the swimmer, faint and week,
For strength his place to hold
So, when afar my path must be,
Hong and sigh, my home, for thee.
As kindly as the mansions fair"
As safe as castle tower,
As beauteous as the vision rare
OF fairies rosy bower,
AS rich as old Alhambra's halls,
AS bright as summers CLEAN,
As ample as the gilded walls
OF weird Arabian dream
So seems thy waiting dome to me
That singcth far, my home, from thee.

In the above l do not give the full name,
as the writer may be living, and l also
suppress the name of the noted southern
woman who sent the following letter to
Jefferson Davis in the latter part of Feb
ruary, 1861. The letter is well written, and
as copy it l can appreciate the thrill that
went through the enthusiastic writer when
she wrote the words:
OsYKA, Pike county, Mo-, Feb. 90 1861
The Hon. jefferson Davis President of the Re-
loved Southern Congress-
Being daughter of the south, 1 take the
liberty in sending you the model of a flag which
| only hope may be received with warm feelings.
The White ground is an emblem of innocence.
the blue ring, lasting love; the center. red
on which is placed q cross, represents Chris
tian nation; the crescent over the cross is our
southern confederacy, and the green stars repre-
sent the states, and as all these are placed
in ring they represent one union in the southern
Confederacy never to be broken-the name
have chosen is the united southern banner
Please excuse the great liberty have taken in
writing to you, but, like Gen. Washington. Won
are now looked upon as the father of the south
and know will excuse all the liberties the south
eru daughters take
May God bless the southern Confederacy. and
whichever model is taken for a banner. NAV his
rich blessings ever rest upon it, is the sincere
wish Of Mrs.
The women of the southern Confederacy
were as strong in the support of the govern
ment as the men. They contributed to it by
every form of self sacrifice, and the tales of
their heroism would make a fortune for q
skillful novelist.
From these designs and hundreds Of others
the committee finally made a report for a
flag. This report was read on the 5th of
March, 1861, and after long preamble it
stated that the flag of the Confederate States
of America should consist of a red field with
a white space running horizontal to the GEN.
ter equal to one-third the width of the flag.
The union was to be blue and was to extend
through the upper red stripe and white stripe,
and III this union there was to be a circle of
white stars, in number as many as the states
in the Confederacy. When the report was
reed four designs of this flag, made of cotton
camhI'ic and of full size, We're hung upon the
walls Of the convention at Montgomery The
convention adopted them, and thus the ''stars
and bars" were born.
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1887-05-14

Two hours afterward the ladies of Mont
gomery had made the first Confederate flag.
IL was of merino, and was run up over the
state house at Montgomery and loudly
cheered. The stars and bars were not, how
ever, a success as a battle flag Gen. Joe
Johnston tells me that it was too much like
the stars and stripes, and that the two could
not be distinguished from each other in the
fighting. Gen. Beauregard says that after
the battle of Bull Run many persons of
both armies thought that the other
side had put up the enemies flag as
decoy, and after this Johnston and Beaure-
gard decided to adopt a new battle flag.
Johnston at first wanted each regiment to
use its state colors, but this was found imprac-
ticable and another flag was chosen, and in
this 1 think Gen. Joe Johnston had something
with the invention of the design. The design
as settled upon by him and Beauregard be-
came the battle flag of the Confederacy, and
it was afterward adopted as such by the Con-
federate congress at Richmond.
This flag is known as the southern cross.
1t had red field, with two wide blue bars
running diagonally from one corner to the
other, and on these bars were white or gold
stars equal in number to the states Of the Con-
federacy. This was really the flag Of the
Confederacy, and it has more right to the
name than the stars and bars. A design sim
liar to it was presented to the Montgomery
convention by William Porcher Miles, and
there is such a design in this old scrap book
The stars and bars, however, got the prefer
ence They became known the country over
as the Confederate flag, and they will proba-
bly, go into history as such.

An Interesting Character.

The clothesline man of Harlem is charac-
ter and holds monopoly of the trade. The
back yard is his stumping ground His name
is not known, but the people of the upper dis
trict call him the Early Bird. He is young
man, and, with his right arm rounded with a
coil of rope and his left covered with pulleys,
he comes forth daily with the familiar cry OF
''clotheslines, penny a yard; put it up for
nothing" and chilly haunts the big apart
ment houses. To obtain an entrance into the
yards of these he is invariably obliged to run
the gauntlet of hard hearted janitor or own
ers. When be effects an entrance it is an
easy matter to dispose Of hundreds Of yards
of line and place it before the janitor discov-
ers and orders him off. Speaking Of his
strange business one day, the clothesline
hanger said:
IT have been engaged in the scheme for
several years. It's my own idea and have
no opposition. Yes, often have trouble in
climbing poles, but my knowledge of sea life
stands me in good stead in slippery weather.
Some DAYS 1 sell ], 900 yards Of line and half
a hundred pulleys. Once get into yard, l

Nearly all of these designs are accompanied
by letters. Some are addressed to President
Jefferson Davis, some to Alexander II. Ste
phens, some to Robert Toombs and great
r,any to William Porcher Miles, who was the
,-i.l.- --.-..l Vi the committee on flags. All Of
the letters are full of feeling and all glow
with loyalty to the new government
Some are written by ladies, and not few Of
the designs are furnished by them. The la
dies letters are the most earnest and enthusi-
astic One Georgia woman says she designed
the flag which she sends herself and that she
hopes the Confederacy twill secede peace
ably, but whether peacably or not, it will
secede." A South Carolina mother pathet-
ically says, dating her letter Feb. 10, 1861,
that she has given three dear boys to her
country, and hopes the young republic will
honor the memory Of Washington by dating
ito organization from the 22d of February
and calling it the Washington republic. She
writes Just as she hears the news that Mr..
Davis has been elected president, and she
closes her letter by saying that the southern
Confederacy has the sympathies of every
southern woman-wife, mother and maid
and that she glories in being woman of the
south.
Other letters propose that the new govern
ment be called Alleghenia, and the great ma
jority OF designs are modelled after the flag of
the union. There was a very strong desire
among the southern people to keep as much
as possible Of the old flag, and this desire is
seen in most Of the letters. One letter, which
is dated Washington, Feb. 20, 1851, beseeches
the committee by all that is sacred to stick to
the stars and stripes. 1t says: "You have
fought well under our glorious banner !
Could you fight as well under another7 Never.
Alter it, improve it as you will, but for
heavens sake keep the stars and stripes.
Another letter begs that the stars and stripes
viii not be given up to the north. and after
saying that ''the songs of a nation and its
flags have prodigious moral influence" it
goes on: "Keep the stars! Keep the stripes!
Keep the azure field and then add red cross
